COCK FOR WASH-BASINS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,943, dated March 31, 1885. Application filed April 12, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

,Be it known that I, JosEPH JUNGBLUIH, of Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cocks for Vash-Basins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved three-way cock for wash-basins, by which the water-supply, overflow, and discharge is accomplished to the exclusion of sewer-gas.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a wash-stand with my improved three-way cock. Figs. 2, 3, 4., and 5 are vertical sections of the same, showing the three-way cock in different positions, respectively, for supplying the water to the basin, shutting off the supply, discharging the water, and the connection with the overflow; and Fig. 6 is a top view of the threeway cock.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the basin of a wash-stand provided with the usual outletpipe G at its bottom; B, a three-way cock or valve; 0, the supply-pipe, and D the waste or discharge pipe, which pipes are connected at opposite points in screw couplings to the three-way cock B. A second water-pipe, 0, leads from the lower part of the casing B of the cock B to the faucet E. An overflowpipe, F, leads in the usual manner from the upper part of the basin A and communicates with the upper part of the casing B. The valve-spindle B of the cock B is connected by acranlcrod, d, with a vertically-guided handle-rod, d, the different positions of the handlerod setting the cock B into different positions. V

The cock B is provided at its circumference with two segmental recesses, e e, the recess 6 serving to establish the connection between the supply-pipe G and the pipe 0, while the recess 6 serves for establishing connection between the discharge-pipe D and the dischargeopening I) at the bottom of the top of the easing B and bottom of the basin.

A channel, 6 of the cock B communicates with the overflow-pipe F, said channel opening into the recess 6, so as to conduct the overflow to the discharge-pipe D, as shown in Fig. 5.

When the handle-rod d is forced down as far as it will go, the cock B establishes communication between the supply-pipes C C, while closing at the same time the top opening, f, communicating with the wash-basin, as shown in Fig. 2. \Vhen the wash-basin is supplied with water, the handle-rod d is raised partly and the cock B placed in the position shown in Fig. 3, whereby the watersupply is cut off. If the handlerod is raised still more, the cock B is placed in the posi- 7 tion shown in Fig. 4, so that the water can pass off from the wash-basin to the dischargepipe D. \Vhen the cock B is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the overflow-pipe F communicates by the channel a with the dischargepipe, as shown i can take place. In all the different positions of the three-way cook the sewer-gas is prevented from passing to the room, and the supply and discharge of the water accomplished in a very simple, reliable, and comparatively inexpensive manner.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, substantially as set forth, of a basin or receptacle provided with an outlet-pipe, a cock connected to said outlet-pipe,

a water-supply pipe connecting said cock with the source of supply, a water-supply pipe connecting said cock with said basin, a wastepipe leading from said cock for carrying 011' the waste water, an overflow-pipe connecting said cock with said basin, and mechanism for n Fig. 5, so that no overflow actuating said cook, the plug of said cock being provided with a recess or channel, 6, for connecting said supply-pipes, with a recess or channel, e, for connecting said outlet and waste pipes, and with a channel, 6 for connecting the recess last mentioned with the overflow-pipe, said plug serving in one position to disconnect and close all said pipes, in another position to connect said supply-pipes and disconnect said waste and outlet pipes, closing the latter, and to connect said overflow and waste pipes, in a third position to disconnect said supplypipes and connect said outlet and waste pipes. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
